330 ml 6.0% ABV Brewed solely in the depths of a Gloucestershire winter, working with the cold weather to aid an ambient-temperature lager yeast driven primary fermentation in our open coolship. The pale wort is made from barley, oats, and whole-leaf European hops. After around ten days open fermentation in our coolship, the young beer is transfered to large oak casks for a secondary fermentation and lagering period with our indigenous wild yeast and bacteria, until warmer months. The long winter lagering naturally clarifies the beer as is matures. Finally, the beer is dry-hopped with whole-leaf hops and bottle conditioned for several months before release. The beer is packaged in heavyweight 330 ml amber bottles. This batch of Pils underwent primary fermentation in December 2024 and was bottled in November 2025. Slightly longer in barrel than previous releases has allowed the finished beer a little more refinement and clarity of flavour. 14 months from brew to release. We can't do anything quickly... The finished beer is exceedingly light, fresh, effervescent and hoppy, with aromas of cut-grass, flowers, and subtle funk. The palate is dry, medium bodied, and cleans off with an assertive bitter snap.
